Weekend Book Buzz – 4/5 May 2019

Posted 5 May 2019 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction / 0 Comments

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, reader friends! Can you believe it’s May? Then again, a new month means a new round of eBook sales, so make sure you check them out at the end of this post.

But before we get to all that, I’d like to give a big congratulations to all the authors whose books made it through to the INSPY shortlists! If you haven’t seen the lists yet, make sure you check them out here. There are some tough choices ahead for the judges, but even so, I’m looking forward to judging the Literature for Young Adults category this year. The winners will be announced on 28 June, so keep an eye out for the announcements!
